I just did an install directly to the hdd. It appears that eth0 is recognized by the os and that it is functioning but cannot connect on the web or ping. Also wondering if there is a way to get the os to recognize the wireless card in this netbook (Acer Aspire One d257). Any help is very appreciated.

I just installed krypton on my acer and haven't started addressing the wireless LAN issues yet. I'm having a problem with letter key presses showing on screen as numbers. Reboot stops for a little bit but starts swapping letters for numbers. Incredibly annoying and frustrating!
